I know trackIR is nice, but it is expensive. I'm not sure about the XBox but PS3 already has the tech to do something like the trackIR with the ps eye, which is quite a bit cheaper. You could use it to track head movement with a little programming. Sure it won't be as crisp as IR, but it should be good enough, and you won't have to wear a hat.

MS is working on a camera system apparently, and it's accurate enough to recognize movement. They want it to offer game uses like the Wii controller, but without having to use the controller. It's a very short jump to TrackIR functionality, if it can detect forward/backward movement as well.
I've always thought they should incorporate TrackIR into the headset. My X3's have IR sensors on left and right, why not use something just like that for TrackIR? The good thing about gaming on a console is that just about everyone has a headset--even wireless. Flight games would benefit hugely, but also shooters. Imagine leaning over to have your soldier lean around a corner--use those precious few buttons on the controller for some other function. This is something long overdue. |
Half the dev time should be spend making sure you don't look like a complete loser. :)

Actually, if you look back in this forum you'll see someone brought this up a while ago.
I don't know if it is really worth getting for a console since there's a camera stick.:neutral: Besides the ability to lean like Raw Kryptonite mentioned. |
